Most of the clips downloaded were from YouTube requiring a large portion of the footage reduced and sequenced together so that the remaining video was focused upon a certain character instead of the initial multiple transitioned scenes. Using the razor tool on a frame by frame scale assist in creating a basic and seamless piece to prepare it for further editing. Below shows the work within Premiere Pro, however a larger scale is used to observe all components within the editing process...


This file is then edited in after effects with the overall composition consisting of 75 audio and visual layers going for rougly 13 minutes...


The first split screen is between Donkey Kong and footage from 10 Things I Hate About You. It shows how a man is in love with a girl (Mario and Peach), but another is taking her away from him (Donkey Kong). The Donkey Kong footage was not edited within After Effects apart from re-scaling of the video itself, the reality portion however was edited substantially. It involved the duplication and splitting of the same piece 8 times where each layer was erased around the focal point of the character which was then edited using hue & saturation to provide a digitally unsound effect...


The layers were needed to be split to focus the effect upon different sections in accordance to the character's position with the varied camera angles as shown below in the Numb3rs scene with David Krumholtz as Yoshi...



This effect was transgressed throughout the piece with it being included as a way to bring cohesiveness to sudden-ending clips with it seeming as if it was a computer malfunction, similar to that in Kanye West's Welcome To Heartbreak video...


The rest of the artwork shared the same complexities as listed above, and included precise editing on a frame by frame scale in an attempt to cue the start and finish of the clips exactly on time with each other which was arguably as time consuming as the effect editing. To finalize the piece I included some credits in regard to the actors and footage predominately featured in my artwork...
